Kelsey Mitchell poured in 38 points, matching her career high, as the Indiana Fever erased a 21-point deficit to defeat the Connecticut Sun 99-93 in overtime Sunday at Mohegan Sun Arena. The veteran guard scored 34 of her points after halftime, shooting 11-for-22 from the field and 5-for-8 from beyond the arc while adding six assists to deliver Indiana’s largest comeback win of the season. The Fever mounted their rally without star guard Caitlin Clark, who missed her 22nd consecutive game because of a right-groin injury. Their backcourt depth thinned further when Sophie Cunningham left in the second quarter with a right-knee injury and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. The victory moves Indiana to 19-16 and keeps the club in the thick of the WNBA playoff race despite a rash of injuries that has already sidelined guards Aari McDonald and Sydney Colson for the year. Connecticut could not protect a lead that reached 72-51 late in the third quarter and slipped to defeat in front of its home crowd.
